On the bustling streets.
Stopped in front of a unique stall, Chen Yutong curiously picked up a mushroom and looked at it for a long time, but she really couldn't see any clues, so she leaned closer to her nose.
However, her actions caused the misunderstanding of the crow, and she quickly stood up to stop her.
This mushroom is not for eating.
I know...just smell.
Of course, Chen Yutong knew that this mushroom could not be eaten.
The round red umbrella and the flat and short white poles were decorated with round white spots. No matter how you look at it, they are highly toxic varieties.
What made her even more strange was that when it was pinched, it felt like rubber, and it smelled particularly fragrant.
Seeing the confused expression on her face, Jaw smiled embarrassedly and explained patiently.
This is a rubber mushroom, which I picked up in the forest in the elm area. Survivors nearby usually make it into brooches, buttons or sending cards.
Incredible... Mushrooms can actually produce rubber!The curiosity in Chen Yutong's eyes became stronger and stronger.
I heard that a factory has recently started to use it to refine rubber. Although the quality is still somewhat different from our Dirat rubber in terms of performance, the yield is quite amazing and artificial breeding is not very difficult.In addition to the Cam Tree, many of the rubbers on our tires are provided by this thing.
So awesome... I have never seen this mushroom in the wandering swamp.Chen Yutong said with emotion.
Of course.
Maybe even if you meet by chance, no one will notice it.
The exploration team has a clear goal every time they attend, and they are also very busy when they are not attending, so they cannot have time to hang out around.
Humph.The crow raised the corners of his mouth smugly.
This credit was inducted into the Hall of Fame long ago.
In fact, this achievement is indeed worthy of praise. She is the most enthusiastic about collecting mushroom illustrations on the entire server. If it weren't for this accidental discovery, the alliance's rubber output value would definitely not have grown as amazingly as the steel output value.
If you are interested, buy it and study it. Lao Bai smiled, looked at the crow and continued, "How much is it?"
5 silver coins!
He took the silver coin from Lao Bai's hand, and his crow's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and he even enthusiastically helped the embarrassed Chen Yutong wear its homemade mushroom hairpin.
The red and white color scheme is simply versatile. Don’t have any incongruity on the light brown hair, but it adds a bit of lively and playful feeling.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Chen Yutong touched her hair with a little embarrassedly, and always felt that it didn't match her temperament.
Would it be a little unsuitable for me?
How could it be?Lao Bai smiled and said, it would be strange if a girl of your age doesn’t dress up.
This gentleman is very good at speaking!
Boss Crow squeezed his eyebrows in a slight manner, and Chen Yutong, who was standing next to him, coughed gently embarrassedly.
I can't be considered a girl at this age...
but.
She really likes this gift.
Whether it is the value of research or the aesthetics, it hits the point of interest in her heart.
Not even just the gift itself.
This includes the process of picking and choosing on the street, and the charming smile of the boss when she puts accessories on her own...
She has never experienced this indescribable leisure and satisfaction, neither in the twelve years of her survivors’ settlement nor in the ten years of her college.
Originally, she just wanted to come here to see it.
This is the first time I feel like I want to integrate into this place.
I really want to share this joy with my former teammates...
In Xuezhou, it should be more suitable for this kind of brightly colored accessories than yourself.
Chen Yutong said embarrassedly as her index finger touched the outline of the hairpin.
It's costing you.
Lao Bai, who was walking beside him, smiled and said.
It's okay, it's just 5 silver coins, no expense.
Although the manager did not give him the task fund, he still didn't make any mistakes about this little money.
To take a step back, the tracked car they got from the Beacon Team was more than that little money, and it was also what they should do to help her integrate into her life here.
Chen Yutong lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly spoke.
Here...where should I go if I want to work?
Lao Bai recalled the next one.
The city hall has a registered employment office. After filling in the information, it will help you arrange the work you can do as soon as possible. The street office can also check for vacant positions nearby... With your ability, you don’t have to worry, the scientific research team may rush to ask for people.
I'm not that great...I'm just an E-class prospector.
We don’t value identity, but more importantly, and look at Chen Yutong with a slightly embarrassed expression, Lao Bai gave her an encouraging look. I believe you can definitely do it well!
Then...I'll try it.Chen Yutong hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Her major is in the AI and information technology directions like Jiang Xuezhou, but she feels that her professional level is much inferior to that of Little Jiang.
Otherwise, I would not have been unable to become a researcher.
However, Lao Bai didn't seem to care about this at all. He never mentioned work along the way, but just took her everywhere to buy and choose some things that he needed to use in life.
For example, changing clothes, washing towels, or even bedding for sleeping.
Although he only planned to buy a little at the beginning, Lao Bai thought that he could just buy it all at once, so he bought a bunch of them unknowingly.
In this way, it was evening without realizing it.
Looking at the big bags in her hand, Lao Bai suddenly remembered that she had just arrived at the alliance and had no place to live.
He said with a little embarrassment.
Sorry... I just remembered that you have no place to live.
fine.Chen Yutong couldn't help but sniffed and smiled, I forgot too...
It is somewhat inconvenient to bring people to your own home.
On the one hand, he basically regarded it as a warehouse there and didn't even have a bed, but on the other hand, he was afraid that others would misunderstand it.
So, Lao Bai carried the big bags of luggage he bought and took her to the highway town hotel not far from the trading station.
Unlike when I came here last time, the lobby area of this hotel feels a little wider and there are a lot more tables inside.
I heard that in order to solve the problem of tight housing, the boss here simply bought the warehouse next to the hotel and changed it to a slightly higher-end five-story apartment to provide businessmen with certain needs for living environments.
It is said to be sponsored by a guest from Ideal City, and the hired designer is a resident of Shelter 404.
In a sense, this hotel is like a piece of amber, and although it was formed in a short time, it witnessed the growth of the alliance.
From the original small wooden house that was reserved for the residents of the highway town to now have more than a thousand square meters, but what remains unchanged is the scent of fireworks here.
Businessmen and survivors who come and go from north to south will choose to rest here, and talk about rumors and intelligence brought from afar.
But it's just evening now, and there are still a while before the bustling time. There are only a few people sitting in the lobby for dinner.
From the moment he walked into the lobby, Chen Yutong looked around curiously.
There is no such facility as a hotel in the college, and there is no concept of a hotel lobby at night.
Because of concerns about being taken into bionic prosthetics by wasteland tourists, the Exploration Team that attends will hardly stay in the settlements of survivors outside the jurisdiction of the Science and Technology Commission, and would rather sleep in a car or lay the floor in a cave.
Get off the front line?Looking at Lao Bai who walked past the threshold into the hotel lobby, the old man Hook, sitting behind the bar, asked with a smile.
I just came back... I opened a room in the backyard for me, living alone.
Old Hook looked at him in surprise.
Oh, you are very informative. I just planned to introduce you to you, but you know first.
Lao Bai smiled and said nothing.
Of course he wouldn't say that they have a place called "Official Forum".
Usually they share the battle situation on the front line on the forum, and professional players in life are also sharing the changes in the rear.
This kind of thing can be found on the official forum by just searching it.
A book with a rolled-up book was found from under the counter, and Old Hook spread it out on the counter.
I have to register...Is this lady living there?
Um.Chen Yutong, who was not familiar with the rules here, nodded slightly nervously.
Although she is not an introverted and shy person, she still subconsciously speaks much less in a strange environment.
Old Hook was about to smile and ask her if she had any requirements for the accommodation environment, and Old Bai, who was standing aside, spoke first.
Please help me choose a quieter and cleaner room.
OK, those rooms in the corner are the most spacious, long-term or short-term?
Let’s rent for a long time, and the deposit is deposited in my account.
no problem!
After asking about the guest's name and origin, Old Hook skillfully wrote two strokes on the notebook.
When she learned that she was from the wandering swamp, a hint of surprise appeared on the old man's face, but he didn't ask anything. He took out two keys with the door signs and threw them on the table.
Lao Bai gave both keys to Chen Yutong.
Looking at the two with a smile, Old Hook continued to say with his arm on the counter.
Just keep your luggage here, I will ask the waiter to help you deliver it to your room. Do you want to eat something?Today’s recommended dish is variant rhino ribs and roasted potatoes with garlic.
Variety rhino ribs?!
Halfway through the words, Chen Yutong suddenly realized that her voice was a little loud.Although no one paid attention to this side, she still felt embarrassed to lower her voice and whispered.
Can mutant rhino... be eaten?
There are many alien species in the wandering swamp, but she has never heard of anyone going to eat those things.
The average survivor is not able to hunt heterogeneity, and the major survivor settlements follow the Scientific and Technological Commission's teachings and do not include them in the recipe, nor do they have enough spices to cover up their taste.
And colleges that focus on nutritional ingredients will not eat these things.
However, she heard the captain mention that some alien species have better meat than their appearance, but there are some risks when eaten.
Old Hook laughed and said proudly.
Of course, you can tell if you stay here for a long time. There are no alien species that cannot be eaten, only people who cannot eat it.
They didn't eat many alien species before.
But since the shelter No. 404 was unsealed, as the shelter residents developed various food treatment methods, monsters and cracked crabs within a radius of dozens of miles were almost extinct.
Don't listen to him bragging, there are still a lot of things you can't eat.
Looking at Chen Yutong swallowing saliva, Lao Bai coughed lightly and picked up the menu on the counter.
Creamy mashed potatoes, stewed double-headed beef with pine mushrooms, mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork... and rice, let’s do it first.
This guy couldn't move his legs when he heard about eating.
But it was time for dinner, and he felt a little hungry.
Recommended dishes you are not ordering Ah.
Old Hook complained, glanced at the menu, and sent it to the kitchen through the small window covered with a curtain next to it.
Then he looked at Lao Bai.
Can you drink something?
Before Lao Bai could speak, Chen Yutong said with anticipation.
Is there any cola and vodka?
Coke and vodka?Of course there is...
Looking at this girl with anticipation, Old Hook was slightly stunned. Suddenly he understood something, and then he showed a very cognitive smile on his face. Oh, that Ah... I probably understand what you mean. The guest wants to try our special cocktails, right?
Special cocktails?Chen Yutong asked in a daze.
That's right, it's very popular recently... It's also the way for residents of shelter to drink.
Looking at Chen Yutong's expression of anticipation, Lao Bai remembered that he had promised to invite her to have a drink before, so he coughed lightly.
Have a drink.
Old Hook smiled slightly.
OK!
After ordering a scoop of beer for himself, Lao Bai took Chen Yutong to sit at the wooden table near the bar.
Looking at the waiter who sent his luggage to the room, Chen Yutong thought of today's expenses and looked at Lao Bai and said embarrassedly.
Today...thank you.When I find a job and earn G points, I mean silver coins, I will pay you back.
Looking at the embarrassed Chen Yutong, Lao Bai smiled and said.
Don't say this, this little money won't be enough.
It is rare to meet an NPC friend who can chat with for a long time, and he was abducted to the league by himself, so of course he could not leave the person here and ignore it.
And he always felt that she was very similar to himself.
Although the original intention and process are completely different, both of them are the type of people who pay more attention to the meaning of life than life itself.
Maybe it is precisely because of this that they can chat like this.
Even a week ago, they were fighting on the battlefield for different positions.
At this time, Lisa, carrying the dining plate, walked over.
She was wearing a waiter's dress designed by the Vineyard Cabin, and a white hairband was tied to her light brown hair.
After a period of adaptation, the little girl has become accustomed to life here, and her smile on her face is much happier than when she first came here.
Sir, you ordered beer and sleepy black tea.
When he heard the word behind, Lao Bai, who was drinking water, almost sprayed out a sip of tea. He coughed dryly and choked for a long time before he recovered.
Who chose this name?!
Lisa looked at Lao Bai with an exaggerated reaction in a daze, holding the plate in her hand, and said in a slight panic.
Don't know... I heard that he was a resident of a shelter?That...is there anything wrong with this name?
No, sorry, I heard it wrong...
Even if there is a problem, it is not easy to explain.
Under Chen Yutong and Lisa's gaze in confusion, Lao Bai reached out to pick up the napkin and wiped his mouth in a mess.
Actually, you can guess without asking.
The tail is not here.
That can only be a mosquito.
Seeing that the two of you had no place to help themselves, Lisa leaned down slightly and turned around and went to busy herself with the dining plate.
It was completely different from Lao Bai's reaction. Chen Yutong seemed very interested in the name of this special cocktail. She stared at the crystal clear cup curiously, and her nose approached and smelled it.
Is this the wine that can be drunk?Incredible...
This incredible sentence is probably the word she said the most today.
But why is it called sleepy black tea?Did you add tea polyphenols?
It has nothing to do with tea... In short, this is what I mentioned to you vodka and cola. You should take a little more leisurely when you drink it. This thing is suitable for novices just because it is easy to eat. Its base wine is ultimately a strong wine, and it will get drunk if you drink too much.
Looking at Ms. Chen who was about to take a sip and taste it, Lao Bai reminded her seriously.
Chen Yutong took a small bite and frowned slightly.
Special taste.
A little weird.
Take another bite.
Looking at Chen Yutong, who was pecking at the rice, Lao Bai took a sip of beer and said teasingly.
To be honest, I really can't imagine the life you have... your technology should be stronger than the company, right?But I feel like a monk with strict precepts.
monk?Chen Yutong was slightly stunned, and had never heard of this word.
A servant of the god, a priest, or a monk?In short, similar meanings.Lao Bai tried to explain the words in the couplet.
A monk...
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Chen Yutong pinched her chin and thought seriously for a moment, and replied rigorously.
It may be difficult before entering the college, but life in the college is not difficult, on the contrary, it is very wealthy.
Lao Bai asked curiously.
Where is it reflected?
Chen Yutong thought for a while and said.
At least in my impression, there has never been a shortage of food and consumer goods, and there are only a few special things that need to be ordered.
Lao Bai nodded clearly.
Think about it, too.
No matter what, the college also controls the largest number of black boxes on the entire wasteland.
In addition to black boxes, they are not short of production technology and methods.
The primary and secondary industries are completely supplied by the survivor settlements under the Science and Technology Committee. The materials are distributed under the coordination of the Foreign Affairs Department of the College and are highly concentrated with scientific researchers.
At least the researchers at the college will never be poor.
After listening to Chen Yutong's words, Lao Bai suddenly realized that this academy seemed not as weak as he imagined.
Even stronger than he thought.
They have a complete organizational structure and talent selection system. Every individual who can enter this huge and strict organization is undoubtedly an expert.
The abundant material supply allows them to focus on their hands. The G-point limits the proportion of wealth that individuals possess in society to a certain extent, while the K-point ensures that every gear in the system can work in the right way.
Those survivors who failed to become researchers or had mismatched professionals may have been a bit hard, but this is a system designed by researchers after all. The first priority is of course to meet the needs of researchers, which is also impossible.
This organization not only has a clear structure, but also has a clear program of action and goal, that is, to do everything possible to recycle the legacy of the prosperity era before resources are exhausted!
After this goal is completed, they will go to a more distant world to expand their territory and continue the spark of civilization.
Although this ideal sounds magnificent, Lao Bai always feels that if they really get to that point, there will probably be only one scientific research ship left in the human civilization in this game world.
He doesn't understand those big principles very well.
But he knew that those who lighted cigarettes with matches today might change to lighters tomorrow, but it was not the critical day and would never want to quit smoking.
Chen Yutong gently touched the wine glass with her index finger. While sorting out the fragments in the corner of her memory, she murmured at the memories.
...The college is very taboo to waste and the meaningless use of resources.According to the conclusion of the doctor's calculation, with the current resource consumption rate on this planet, the legacy of the prosperity era is not enough to support it for up to two centuries.
As she said this, she suddenly felt a little guilty instinctively in her heart.
However, after hearing her words, Lao Bai smiled.
Can he calculate this?
Chen Yutong nodded gently.
He is the wisest, most knowledgeable, and most far-sighted person on this planet.
Lao Bai said casually without caring.
So, did he count on what year the nuclear winter end?
Chen Yutong was slightly stunned.
That...I don't know much.
Lao Bai clinked her glasses, grinned and said.
Yes?It seems that your doctorate is not omnipotent, I think it is better not to think too much.Two centuries later, let’s talk about things two centuries later, those who live in the present should take good care of the present, and I think this is enough.
Maybe he remembered something, Chen Yutong, who had just opened her mouth, suddenly stopped talking again and nodded thoughtfully.
Maybe you are right.
The rich food was quickly served on the table.
Chen Yutong, who had a deep face just now, was soon attracted by the stewed meat that exuded an intoxicating aroma.
There is also the mashed potatoes next to it.
This, what is this?!Why are it so good!Her left hand held her chin, and her excited voice was deformed.
Mashed potatoes... In the past, we used to mix well with hyena fat and horn potatoes. Now that the conditions are good, it seems that they have been replaced with potatoes and cream.
After all, he is a girl who is not very familiar with the world and cannot withstand the temptation of delicious food.
Looking at Chen Yutong who was eating voraciously, Lao Bai couldn't help but smile. Seeing that she was able to use chopsticks skillfully, she turned her eyes to the lobby in the distance without her own help.
The night outside the door gradually deepened, and the hotel lobby became lively.
Looking at the gradually buzzing voices and the flying beer foam, Lao Bai couldn't help but smile and took a sip of beer with satisfaction.
Whenever he sits here, his heart is extremely fulfilled.
Although it is a virtual life, he can clearly feel that the unspeakable feeling of this world needs him.
He could see with his eyes the change his efforts brought to the world and the prosperity that belonged to the alliance that belonged to them all.
Everything here is not his credit, but everything is inseparable from their courageous battles on the front line, through life and death.
This is his daily life!
Lao Bai's thoughts couldn't help but drift away, thinking about what this place would look like in many years.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that Lisa, who brought the last delicacy to the wooden table, did not walk away, but stood by her reluctantly.
He vaguely guessed something, and he said in a gentle tone.
Is there anything wrong?
The little girl nodded slightly and asked with the courage.
That, pangolin...is he okay?
She had spoken smoothly before, but after mentioning that name, she suddenly became stuttering.
He Ah...
Lao Bai's eyes were a little subtle.
This guy seems not satisfied with Colway's favor recently, and he hooked up with a beautiful reporter from Triumph City.
Of course, this is probably because that guy was teased and bragged.
After all, in the eyes of most Willant people, other races are animals.Unless that beauty has a unique taste, she will never favor an indigenous person.
Unable to bear to see that cute face was filled with loss, Lao Bai took a sip of beer and said nonsense while drinking.
He is very brave and is our good helper. Thanks to him, the battle situation is going well.If it is soon... you should be able to see him before the end of the year.
Without doubting what he said at all, Lisa's eyes shone with hope.
Can you tell me more about him?
Although I would have heard this sentence as expected, Lao Bai was still in a hurry.
How glorious can this undercover work be.
The key is that it is too sensitive to insider information and it is hard to tell Ah!
no way.
I can only make up randomly.
Seeing that the curious eyes around him were aiming at this side, Lao Bai sighed in his heart and opened up the conversation.
Speaking of the Oasis No. 3 victory, we have to mention the Highland No. 330, and when it comes to the Highland No. 330, we have to start with a bowl of chicken soup that provides timely help...
Stopped in front of a unique stall, Chen Yutong curiously picked up a mushroom and looked at it for a long time, but she really couldn't see any clues, so she leaned closer to her nose.
However, her actions caused the misunderstanding of the crow, and she quickly stood up to stop her.
This mushroom is not for eating.

But since the shelter No. 404 was unsealed, as the shelter residents developed various food treatment methods, monsters and cracked crabs within a radius of dozens of miles were almost extinct.
Don't listen to him bragging, there are still a lot of things you can't eat.
Looking at Chen Yutong swallowing saliva, Lao Bai coughed lightly and picked up the menu on the counter.
Creamy mashed potatoes, stewed double-headed beef with pine mushrooms, mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork... and rice, let’s do it first.
This guy couldn't move his legs when he heard about eating.
But it was time for dinner, and he felt a little hungry.
Recommended dishes you are not ordering Ah.
Old Hook complained, glanced at the menu, and sent it to the kitchen through the small window covered with a curtain next to it.
Then he looked at Lao Bai.
Can you drink something?
Before Lao Bai could speak, Chen Yutong said with anticipation.
Is there any cola and vodka?
Coke and vodka?Of course there is...
Looking at this girl with anticipation, Old Hook was slightly stunned. Suddenly he understood something, and then he showed a very cognitive smile on his face. Oh, that Ah... I probably understand what you mean. The guest wants to try our special cocktails, right?
Special cocktails?Chen Yutong asked in a daze.
That's right, it's very popular recently... It's also the way for residents of shelter to drink.
Looking at Chen Yutong's expression of anticipation, Lao Bai remembered that he had promised to invite her to have a drink before, so he coughed lightly.
Have a drink.
Old Hook smiled slightly.
OK!
After ordering a scoop of beer for himself, Lao Bai took Chen Yutong to sit at the wooden table near the bar.
Looking at the waiter who sent his luggage to the room, Chen Yutong thought of today's expenses and looked at Lao Bai and said embarrassedly.
Today...thank you.When I find a job and earn G points, I mean silver coins, I will pay you back.
Looking at the embarrassed Chen Yutong, Lao Bai smiled and said.
Don't say this, this little money won't be enough.
It is rare to meet an NPC friend who can chat with for a long time, and he was abducted to the league by himself, so of course he could not leave the person here and ignore it.
And he always felt that she was very similar to himself.
Although the original intention and process are completely different, both of them are the type of people who pay more attention to the meaning of life than life itself.
Maybe it is precisely because of this that they can chat like this.
Even a week ago, they were fighting on the battlefield for different positions.
At this time, Lisa, carrying the dining plate, walked over.
She was wearing a waiter's dress designed by the Vineyard Cabin, and a white hairband was tied to her light brown hair.
After a period of adaptation, the little girl has become accustomed to life here, and her smile on her face is much happier than when she first came here.
Sir, you ordered beer and sleepy black tea.
When he heard the word behind, Lao Bai, who was drinking water, almost sprayed out a sip of tea. He coughed dryly and choked for a long time before he recovered.
Who chose this name?!
Lisa looked at Lao Bai with an exaggerated reaction in a daze, holding the plate in her hand, and said in a slight panic.
Don't know... I heard that he was a resident of a shelter?That...is there anything wrong with this name?
No, sorry, I heard it wrong...
Even if there is a problem, it is not easy to explain.
Under Chen Yutong and Lisa's gaze in confusion, Lao Bai reached out to pick up the napkin and wiped his mouth in a mess.
Actually, you can guess without asking.
The tail is not here.
That can only be a mosquito.
Seeing that the two of you had no place to help themselves, Lisa leaned down slightly and turned around and went to busy herself with the dining plate.
It was completely different from Lao Bai's reaction. Chen Yutong seemed very interested in the name of this special cocktail. She stared at the crystal clear cup curiously, and her nose approached and smelled it.
Is this the wine that can be drunk?Incredible...
This incredible sentence is probably the word she said the most today.
But why is it called sleepy black tea?Did you add tea polyphenols?
It has nothing to do with tea... In short, this is what I mentioned to you vodka and cola. You should take a little more leisurely when you drink it. This thing is suitable for novices just because it is easy to eat. Its base wine is ultimately a strong wine, and it will get drunk if you drink too much.
Looking at Ms. Chen who was about to take a sip and taste it, Lao Bai reminded her seriously.
Chen Yutong took a small bite and frowned slightly.
Special taste.
A little weird.
Take another bite.
Looking at Chen Yutong, who was pecking at the rice, Lao Bai took a sip of beer and said teasingly.
To be honest, I really can't imagine the life you have... your technology should be stronger than the company, right?But I feel like a monk with strict precepts.
monk?Chen Yutong was slightly stunned, and had never heard of this word.
A servant of the god, a priest, or a monk?In short, similar meanings.Lao Bai tried to explain the words in the couplet.
A monk...
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Chen Yutong pinched her chin and thought seriously for a moment, and replied rigorously.
It may be difficult before entering the college, but life in the college is not difficult, on the contrary, it is very wealthy.
Lao Bai asked curiously.
Where is it reflected?
Chen Yutong thought for a while and said.
At least in my impression, there has never been a shortage of food and consumer goods, and there are only a few special things that need to be ordered.
Lao Bai nodded clearly.
Think about it, too.
No matter what, the college also controls the largest number of black boxes on the entire wasteland.
In addition to black boxes, they are not short of production technology and methods.
The primary and secondary industries are completely supplied by the survivor settlements under the Science and Technology Committee. The materials are distributed under the coordination of the Foreign Affairs Department of the College and are highly concentrated with scientific researchers.
At least the researchers at the college will never be poor.
After listening to Chen Yutong's words, Lao Bai suddenly realized that this academy seemed not as weak as he imagined.
Even stronger than he thought.
They have a complete organizational structure and talent selection system. Every individual who can enter this huge and strict organization is undoubtedly an expert.
The abundant material supply allows them to focus on their hands. The G-point limits the proportion of wealth that individuals possess in society to a certain extent, while the K-point ensures that every gear in the system can work in the right way.
Those survivors who failed to become researchers or had mismatched professionals may have been a bit hard, but this is a system designed by researchers after all. The first priority is of course to meet the needs of researchers, which is also impossible.
This organization not only has a clear structure, but also has a clear program of action and goal, that is, to do everything possible to recycle the legacy of the prosperity era before resources are exhausted!
After this goal is completed, they will go to a more distant world to expand their territory and continue the spark of civilization.
Although this ideal sounds magnificent, Lao Bai always feels that if they really get to that point, there will probably be only one scientific research ship left in the human civilization in this game world.
He doesn't understand those big principles very well.
But he knew that those who lighted cigarettes with matches today might change to lighters tomorrow, but it was not the critical day and would never want to quit smoking.
Chen Yutong gently touched the wine glass with her index finger. While sorting out the fragments in the corner of her memory, she murmured at the memories.
...The college is very taboo to waste and the meaningless use of resources.According to the conclusion of the doctor's calculation, with the current resource consumption rate on this planet, the legacy of the prosperity era is not enough to support it for up to two centuries.
As she said this, she suddenly felt a little guilty instinctively in her heart.
However, after hearing her words, Lao Bai smiled.
Can he calculate this?
Chen Yutong nodded gently.
He is the wisest, most knowledgeable, and most far-sighted person on this planet.
Lao Bai said casually without caring.
So, did he count on what year the nuclear winter end?
Chen Yutong was slightly stunned.
That...I don't know much.
Lao Bai clinked her glasses, grinned and said.
Yes?It seems that your doctorate is not omnipotent, I think it is better not to think too much.Two centuries later, let’s talk about things two centuries later, those who live in the present should take good care of the present, and I think this is enough.
Maybe he remembered something, Chen Yutong, who had just opened her mouth, suddenly stopped talking again and nodded thoughtfully.
Maybe you are right.
The rich food was quickly served on the table.
Chen Yutong, who had a deep face just now, was soon attracted by the stewed meat that exuded an intoxicating aroma.
There is also the mashed potatoes next to it.
This, what is this?!Why are it so good!Her left hand held her chin, and her excited voice was deformed.
Mashed potatoes... In the past, we used to mix well with hyena fat and horn potatoes. Now that the conditions are good, it seems that they have been replaced with potatoes and cream.
After all, he is a girl who is not very familiar with the world and cannot withstand the temptation of delicious food.
Looking at Chen Yutong who was eating voraciously, Lao Bai couldn't help but smile. Seeing that she was able to use chopsticks skillfully, she turned her eyes to the lobby in the distance without her own help.
The night outside the door gradually deepened, and the hotel lobby became lively.
Looking at the gradually buzzing voices and the flying beer foam, Lao Bai couldn't help but smile and took a sip of beer with satisfaction.
Whenever he sits here, his heart is extremely fulfilled.
Although it is a virtual life, he can clearly feel that the unspeakable feeling of this world needs him.
He could see with his eyes the change his efforts brought to the world and the prosperity that belonged to the alliance that belonged to them all.
Everything here is not his credit, but everything is inseparable from their courageous battles on the front line, through life and death.
This is his daily life!
Lao Bai's thoughts couldn't help but drift away, thinking about what this place would look like in many years.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that Lisa, who brought the last delicacy to the wooden table, did not walk away, but stood by her reluctantly.
He vaguely guessed something, and he said in a gentle tone.
Is there anything wrong?
The little girl nodded slightly and asked with the courage.
That, pangolin...is he okay?
She had spoken smoothly before, but after mentioning that name, she suddenly became stuttering.
He Ah...
Lao Bai's eyes were a little subtle.
This guy seems not satisfied with Colway's favor recently, and he hooked up with a beautiful reporter from Triumph City.
Of course, this is probably because that guy was teased and bragged.
After all, in the eyes of most Willant people, other races are animals.Unless that beauty has a unique taste, she will never favor an indigenous person.
Unable to bear to see that cute face was filled with loss, Lao Bai took a sip of beer and said nonsense while drinking.
He is very brave and is our good helper. Thanks to him, the battle situation is going well.If it is soon... you should be able to see him before the end of the year.
Without doubting what he said at all, Lisa's eyes shone with hope.
Can you tell me more about him?
Although I would have heard this sentence as expected, Lao Bai was still in a hurry.
How glorious can this undercover work be.
The key is that it is too sensitive to insider information and it is hard to tell Ah!
no way.
I can only make up randomly.
Seeing that the curious eyes around him were aiming at this side, Lao Bai sighed in his heart and opened up the conversation.
Speaking of the Oasis No. 3 victory, we have to mention the Highland No. 330, and when it comes to the Highland No. 330, we have to start with a bowl of chicken soup that provides timely help...
